GREAT PLAY.
HE'S A FAN FAVORITE NOW, I'LL
TELL YOU THAT.
ING ALL RIGHT, WELL, A FRESHMAN
DEMOCRAT WHO STRONGLY OPPOSES
IMPEACHMENT NOW EXPECTED TO
SWITCH TO THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.
CONGRESSMAN JEFF DREW HAS MADE
IT CLEAR HE THINKS IMPEACHMENT
WILL BACKFIRE ON DEMOCRATS.
RACHEL: AND OVERNIGHT, PRESIDENT
TRUMP REACTING.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR HONESTY,
JEFF.
ALL THE DEMOCRATS KNOW YOU'RE
RIGHT, BUT UNLIKE YOU, THEY
DON'T HAVE THE GUTS TO SAY SO.
ED: HERE TO REACT, CONGRESSMAN
LEE ZELDIN.
GOOD MORNING, SIR.
>> GOOD MORNING.
ED: WHAT KIND OF SHOT IN A ARMY
COULD THIS -- ARM COULD THIS BE
FOR THE PRESIDENT AND YOUR
PARTY?
>> I THINK IT WOULD BE
FANTASTIC.
JEFF HAS SEEN THE FOREST THROUGH
THE TREES, CALLING OUT THIS
IMPEACHMENT SHAM FOR EXACTLY
WHAT IT IS.
YOU HAVE 31 HOUSE DEMOCRATS WHO
ARE IN DISTRICTS WON BY DONALD
TRUMP IN 2016, AND THOSE TRUMP
VOTERS IN THOSE DISTRICTS WHEN
THEY WERE SENDING THESE HOUSE
DEMOCRATS TO WASHINGTON, WHEN
THEY WERE VOTING FOR THEM IN
2018, THEY WERE VOTING FOR THESE
HOUSE DEMOCRATS TO GO TO
WASHINGTON AND WORK WITH THE
PRESIDENT, NOT TO GO TO
WASHINGTON AND TO IMPEACH THE
PRESIDENT.
AND SO JEFF VAN DREW IS SOMEONE
WHO WANTS TO BE WORKING WITH HIS
REPUBLICAN COLLEAGUES ACROSS THE
AISLE IN THE HOUSE AND THE
SENATE, AND THE PRESIDENT IN THE
WHITE HOUSE AS HE'S ARRIVING TO
WASHINGTON, YET WHAT YOU'RE
SEEING IS FROM THE FAR LEFT OF
THE PARTY THESE OTHER FRESHMEN
WAY TO THE LEFT WHO HAVE REALLY
TAKEN OVER A LOT OF THE
DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
THEY'VE ROLLED NANCY BLOATS --
PELOSI, AND THEY'VE GOTTEN THEM
TO DO THIS IMPEACHMENT CHARADE.
JEFF VAN DREW IS SHAKING HIS
HEAD AND SAYING THIS ISN'T WHY I
CAME HERE.
A LOT OF VOTERS ARE SAYING, HEY,
WE YOU TO BE FOCUSING ON
SUBSTANTIVE WINS.
PETE: COLLIN PETERSON OF
MINNESOTA HAS DECLARED HE WILL
VOTE EXISTENCE THESE IMPEACHMENT
ARMS -- AGAINST THESE
IMPEACHMENT ARTICLES.
I'VE GOT TO IMAGINE BEING IN THE
HOUSE YOU KNOW WHAT IT WOULD
FEEL -- I MEAN, WHAT WOULD IT
TAKE TO SWITCH PARTIES AND THE
REACTION AND THE BLOW BLACK JEFF
VAN DREW'S GOING TO GET?
>> YEAH, THAT COMES WITH IT.
WITH EYES WIDE OPEN AS YOU'RE
MAKING A DECISION LIKE THIS,
THERE'S GOING TO BE BLOWBACK
FROM DEMOCRATS.
THE NEW JERSEY GOVERNOR GOING
AFTER HIM.
YOU HAVE SO MANY DEMOCRATS, AND
THIS ADDS TO THE ISSUE, IS THAT
THEY ARE LOOKING AT 3% OF THE
FACTS.
WHENEVER ADAM SCHIFF TELLS THEM
A STORY, IT'S A STORY.
THEY'RE RELYING ON PRESUMPTIONS,
LIES, HEARSAY, THEY'RE TRYING TO
CONNECT DOTS NOT ACTUALLY
CONNECTED WHILE SOMEONE LIKE
JEFF VAN DREW IS LOOKING AT 100%
OF THE FACTS.
HE WANTS TO SEE THE ENTIRE
STORY.
SO THE ISSUE IS NOT ONLY ARE
THESE PEOPLE GOING TO BE UPSET
WITH HIM FOR WANTING TO SWITCH
PARTIES, THEY'RE NOT EVEN GOING
TO BE HONEST ABOUT IT BECAUSE
THEY TOTALLY BOUGHT INTO THE
SCHIFF NARRATIVE AS IF HE EVER
TELLS THE TRUTH.
